But this new video gets points for ingenuity, in addition to being just cool to listen to! YouTuber Dan Newbie has recreated the "Game of Thrones" theme song, using only items you might find in your kitchen.

Looks like #SixSeasonsandaMovie won't be happening. NBC has canceled "Community" according to a report from THR.

Whether you're into cannibalism or lighthearted family comedy, NBC will have you covered for at least one more season.

It's official: "How I Met Your Dad" is a go! The "How I Met Your Mother" spinoff was given a series order today by CBS, as announced by the network. Until this point, the show was only in its pilot stages and had not officially been picked up by CBS, though considering the long-running success of "HIMYM," it was a close to a sure thing as it gets. The show will star indie darling Greta Gerwig as Sally, a girl in her late twenties who will act as our female Ted Moesby.

Somebody Recut 'Frozen' As a Horror Movie and It's Pretty Great
May 08, 2014 @ 4:03 pm PST    Frozen     Andy Neuenschwander    
"Do you wanna build a snowman?" has never sounded so creepy. YouTube user Bobby Burns has done the impossible (or at least the unlikely): He took clips from Disney's "Frozen" and edited them together to make it look like a horror movie. You'd be surprised at how much difference some filters and a change in soundtrack makes! The recut trailer has a very "Carrie"-like vibe to it, painting Elsa as an outcast who, rather than going off to live on her own so she doesn't endanger anyone, pretty much does the opposite and starts attacking people.

You might need a chance to catch your breath, movie-wise, this week, but that doesn't mean that you can't go out and catch a new flick. This week's new releases are conspicuously lacking in superheroes and monsters, and this is going to be the only weekend all month when that's true. So if you're tired of CGI chaos, this is the weekend to head to the theater.

New 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Figures Reveal Shredder, Splinter and More
May 07, 2014 @ 4:18 pm PST    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles     Andy Neuenschwander    
All of the trailers thus far for Michael Bay's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" reboot have been shy about revealing all of the characters. After all, it was only just a week or so ago that we got a trailer that gave us a good look at all of the turtles, rather than just Michelangelo. And we only barely got a look at Shredder or Splinter. Well, that's changed. But not thanks to a new trailer; rather, it's thanks to the new action figures.
